Mario & Rabbids definitely isn't grindy, but it is a little basic but I liked it - it's not for everyone especially if you're not in for that kind of strategy game. Though the way you feel about the Switch is kind of how I feel about games in general. I can't even think of a single game I earnestly want to play this year until Red Dead comes out. God of War was quite good and I might mop up the remainder of side stuff at some point, but for now I'm settled. I'd rather replay Breath of the Wild, get DS remastered or just go through some backlog thing.
Mortal Kombat, 3D Mario before Galaxy, Horizon on the gameplay side was pretty weak typically but I did always want to see plenty of the story so it took my a while to get through.
also AC: Origins is the first AC game with good gameplay. Even if the Ezio games are neat (still worth playing), the first game had a good premise but executed upon everything badly, and the Homestead in 3 was easily the best part and those games need way more of that. Black Flag had a a fun premise but too many repetitive bad missions to really stand up to scrutiny as well.
Triforce of the Gods 2 is the best Zelda game that isn't called Okami.
The "M" in Metroid: Other M stands for Muffin.
Old sports games (ones that have to do real sports, not the Mario stuff) suck and the only good ones are the latest generation of FIFA games and NFL Blitz. oh and Virtua Tennis is sick.
The Beatles were a really good band but so overrated they have a weird tyrannical reign over pop music, and the idea that almost anything they did (besides a handful of songs) is the "best" anything is sad and an enormous disservice to everything about music.
Thoroughbreds was pretty average. It was fine but still had that Juno-esque overly snarky teen feel throughout, which I have trouble finding endearing for an entire movie (and the main characters' motivations for doing what they did was kind of laughable, but I guess that was the point.)
I saw A Quiet Place as well, solid thriller/horror that built tension very well but damn.....that ending was duuuuuuuuuuuuuuummbb.
